The 5th Annual L.A. H.P. Lovecraft Film Fest and CthulHuCon takes place at the Warner Grand Theatre in San Pedrom on the weekend of September 26-28. There will be screenings, guest speakers, and other events celebrating the enduring legacy of Lovecraft’s fiction.

The long-running film festival, inspired by the writing of the great science fiction and horror author H.P Lovecraft, moves from Portland, Oregon to Los Angeles, California, for a one-day event featuring numerous films and guests.

Description: As the son of a Viking leader on the cusp of manhood, shy Hiccup Horrendous Haddock the Third faces a rite of passage: He must capture and train a dragon to prove his warrior mettle. But when the only dragon he can snare is a paltry, toothless beast, his trial doesn’t go as planned. Peter Hastings directs this animated adaptation of the book by Cressida Cowell that features the voices of Jay Baruchel, Gerard Butler and America Ferrera. Part of the WOW (Wednesday at Warners) series.
